[mpich-discuss] MPICH2 installation

[Jeff Hammond]

Hi Darius,

http://www.cebacad.net/files/mpich2/opensuse/mpich2-1.2.1p1/ is empty
so it appears the best one can do is
http://www.cebacad.net/files/mpich2/opensuse/old/mpich2-1.0.8p1-1.i586.rpm.

MPICH 1.2.7p1-219.1 is available from the package installer in
openSUSE 11.3, so it appears the Germans are a bit behind on the
times.

However, none of this really matters since LAMMPS uses only the most
basic MPI-1 features.  I think there is a call to MPI_Cart_create but
that is the most advanced use of MPI I've seen in the source.
